$A$ ball hits a vertical wall horizontally at $10 \ m/s$ and bounces back at $10 \ m/s$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    There is no acceleration because $10 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s = 0$.
  • B
    There may be an acceleration because its initial direction is horizontal.
  • C
    There is an acceleration because there is a momentum change.
  • D
    Even though there is no change in momentum,there is a change in direction. Hence it has an acceleration.

$A$ ball of mass $0.5 \ kg$ is dropped from a height of $40 \ m$. The ball hits the ground and rises to a height of $10 \ m$. The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (Take $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)

In projectile motion,two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ have velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively at time $t=0$. Their velocities become $\vec{V}_1^{\prime}$ and $\vec{V}_2^{\prime}$ at time $2t$ while still moving in air. The value of $[(m_1 \vec{V}_1^{\prime} + m_2 \vec{V}_2^{\prime}) - (m_1 \vec{V}_1 + m_2 \vec{V}_2)]$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

What physical quantity is represented by the area under the force-time graph?
